Beyond Sarah Palin 2016... McCain/Palin 2028!

The only way to save the battered and directionless Republican Party is to have Sarah Palin run for president in 2016, according to the Los Angeles Times' Charlotte Allen, who swears she's not joking. Mitt Romney got fewer votes than John McCain did four years ago, Allen writes, and he faltered because he was too focused on serious economic issues. A lot of voters don't care about serious issues. "What they — a group sometimes euphemistically called 'uninformed voters' — do know and care about are the tugs on their emotions, fears, revulsions and heart strings provided by hours and hours of uninterrupted television watching," Allen writes. What these unserious voters need is an unserious candidate, she says. We agree, and we're one-upping her: What America needs is a ticket even more "Ellen-ready," to use Allen's term: Meghan McCain and Bristol Palin.
